Sunaada Vidyalayam kindly invited Carnatic-Circle to come and perform Thodaya Mangalam Bhajanai at Providence hall in Bilston, Birmingham on Saturday, the 2nd of December. This was part of a bigger & a more elaborate event which included Saraswathi Puja, Rudram Namakkam & Carnatic Flute/Veena/Guitar music performances by students and various guest artists.
Our Choral singing performance at Providence hall was very well received by the audience. The 200 people audience could be seen enjoying, tapping, waving and even singing along with us. We were accompanied by Ram Nemani on Flute/Guitar, Dr Selvakumar on Mridangam and Mr H.Viswanathan on Violin. Dr Selvakumar is Doctor by profession but an avid percussionist from heart. Visiting violinist Mr Viswanathan is a very senior and experienced violinist who hails from a musical family and has a strong background in Sampradaya Bhajanai activities. Mr Viswanathan has played for over 2,000 (yes, Two thousand) concerts. His father Sangeetha Surendra Nagercoil Harihara Iyer has played violin with doyens like MS Subbalakshmi, GNB, Chembai and DK Pattammal.
We look forward to supporting such cultural activities and promote our diversity. Sincere thanks to Ram Nemani and other organisers at Sunaada Vidyalayam.
